Goad reports

Goad reports provide an up-to-date picture of retail supply and consumer demand in over 3,000 Goad surveyed town centres in the UK and Ireland. Depending on the type of report you buy, you can focus on supply or demand. Supply factors include floor space across trade types, and the number of outlet counts and vacant premises in a particular centre. Demand factors include shopper catchments and analysis of how consumer expenditure is likely to change in the future. You can even benchmark any number of separate shopping areas against a specific centre.
